We'll talk all things triathlon with expert coaches and special guests.

Join the conversation and let's improve together.

Welcome to the final trit-out podcast episode of the year 2021.

We have an absolute blast doing this show, and it's an honor to be in your headphones, speakers, car audio system, pain cape, etc.

Talking triathlon with our team, thanks so much for listening.

We're going to keep the content rolling into 2022, and we sincerely hope all of our listeners are primed for a great year of training and racing in the new year.

We like to end the year, just reflecting on our year in podcasting.

We had 51 episodes this year, one per week every single Monday like clockwork, because, you know, we're just really, really dependable like that.

So I've asked several of our podcast regulars to come to the table today with two episodes from this year that they want to highlight as a best of 2021 episode.

They'll tell us why they picked the episode they picked.

We'll play a clip from that

episode and then we'll move on to the next one. There are five of us joining the show today,

so with a few special appearances as well by some bonus trot staff members. So I'll keep the

introductions brief today with me here on the live recording today are

Tridot director of coaching, John Mayfield,

vice president of marketing and Ironman champion Matt Bach,

pro triathlete and tridot coach Elizabeth James

and tritocke and biomechanics expert Jeff Rains.
